St. Thomas Seminary, Merriam Park.

Correspondence of The Irish Standard.
The students com posing the classical
department at st. Thomas Seminary
met in their club room on the evening
of the 18th inst. and the result of their
deliberations was the organization of a
society known as St. Thomas Lyceum.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing three months: Rev. Father
Heffron, director; Mr.. O'Donnell,
president; Mr.. McPhee, .vice-president; {;
William Colbert, recording secretary ;
Harry Prendergast, treasurer; William
Sheran, corresponding secretary; Frank
Tully, censor; Ernest Hannigan and
James Gavan, librarians. Exclusive of
the officers there are 80 active and IL
honorary members in the society. The
object of the society is to cultivate a
literary taste among it's members also
1t may be said to have literary and
dramatic character, as both shall re-
ceive consideration in the near future.
Judging from the energy and enthu-
siasm already displayed, a brilliant fu-
ture can be predicted for the lyceum.
Yielding to the request Of the society
and trusting it will not be too great a
trespass on your valuable space, 1 here
with forward you an account of the
proceedings at our last meeting. The
society was. called to order by the Rev.
director. After the preliminary affairs
had been transacted the secretary an
nounced that the subject for the even
ing's debate was, ''Resolved-That
Minneapolis is the leading city of Mime
sota." Those on the affirmative side
were Messrs, Hannigan and DAILY. The
negatives were John King and Edward
Kehoe. For obvious reasons the debate
was very spirited and exciting, during
which superlative things were affirmed
of the giant cities. The debate having
closed, the judges retired, and after a
short deliberation returned with the
verdict that the negatives had won. A
few declamations and the remarks of
the critic closed the proceedings for the
evening. ". >.

Davitt Branch.

The meeting of the Davitt Branch
last Sunday evening in Window Hall
was very fairly attended. At the usual
hour the meeting was called to order by
President McHale. The committee on
the entertainment to have taken place
Thursday evening, January 81, reported
that they had postponed it until the
evening of February 10. This change
in date was necessitated owing to the
fact that the time first decided upon was
Minneapolis day at the st. Paul Ice
Carnival. It was announced that any
one who had purchased tickets could
hold them and that such would be re-
cognized on the date latterlY decided
upon. The programme was then pro-
oeeded with. Messrs. Fahey and Barry
rendered duet in excellent voice, after
which Miss Eva Mcdonald favored the
audience with a recitation. The duet
BIZ the Misses Aekerson was deservedly
well received. One of the events of the
evening was the singing of that charm
ing Irieh song, ..Killarney' by Mr..
Barry, The latter gentleman also sang,
in company with Mr.. Fahey, that plant

THE Cincinnati Enquire correspondent says

Notwithstanding all claims to the contrary,
there will really be but one candidate for the
senatorship before the Democratic caucus.
That will be Senator Mcdonald. OF course,
members may, in the caucus vote for indi-
vidual preferences, and there will be some
complimentary votes cast, but all over the
State Senator Mcdonald is recognized as the
man upon whom Democrats will center. In
the Republican caucus Senator Harrison will
be the choice. Of course there will be a
strong fight made against him, notably by
friends of Porter and by members who do
not like the SENATOR'S methods; but to Sena-
tor Harrison, more than toany other one man in
the Republican ranks, is due the recent Re-
publican victory in the State. For that rea-
son he will be renominated and led to the
slaughter"
This is all very nice; but the facts are, as
everyone knows, that there are, at least, half
a dozen candidates on the Democratic side for
the senatorship, while no Republican is, or
has ever BEEN mentioned in connection with
the Office, except Senator Harrison. The
"strong fight against him" has so far been
confined exclusively to Democratic sources,
and there it will continue sine Gle.

A ST. LOUIS paper says General Logan
made no concealment of his belief that West
Pointers "were disposed to monopolize every
thing and adds that, Notwithstanding Gen.
Sherman's statement to the contrary, he never
acknowledged his error for the reason that
there no error to acknowledge. This
being the case, the departed General would
doubtless share in the opinion entertained in
certain quarters that the hesitancy Of the
managers of the Soldiers Home to offer a
place of burial for his remains is owing to the
fact that they want the earth for West Point
ers-particularly as haste was made last year
to tender burial spot for Grant.

BUSINESS PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.

Probably the most remarkable business
showing of the year will be that which comes
from the South. Two trade journals, the
Manufacturers Record. of Baltimore, and the
Tradesman, of Chattanooga, Tenn, have been
collecting statistics on the subject. Advance
sheets of these publications for Jan. /, 1887,
present a remarkable exhibit of industrial
progress. The greatest has been in the iron
and steel industries, and of these principally
in Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia, but the
activity has not been confined to these indus
tries or States. Among the new enterprises
reported from the South during the year are
% iron furnaces, 80 ice factories, 6S foundries
and machine shops, Bessemer steel rail mill,
26 miscellaneous iron works, stove found
RES 81 gas-works, 81 electric-light com
panies. II agricultural implement factories,
la mining and quarryiug enterprises,
ton mills, % furniture factories, ~ water
works. 56 tobacco factories, 90 -four mills AS
lumber mills.
The reports from ten southern States show
all increase in the iron OUTPUT, since 1880, of
565 200 tons, and the Chattanooga paper says:
cat the same rate of gain they will have at
next census nearly one and half million tons
annual capacity but the indications point to
a capacity of two million tons annually at
that time"
With the development of the raw iron indus
try there has been corresponding growth in
some branches Of iron manufacturing, as
stoves, steel mills, nail mills, etc. In 1880
Tennessee had eighty fvur znil machines, Ala
bama none Now Tennessee reports lis and
| Alabama eighty-two, with combined annual
output Of 100000 kegs, against 100000 in
1880. These figures represent great influx
of capital to the South and very healthy
activity in business circles of the favored
localities. 1t is evident the natural resources
of the South are just beginning to be de
| veloped and the indications point to coming

terests. To figure in political lie on her own
account, were such thing possible, would be
very different matter and one for which she
would doubtless have little inclination.

By singular coincidence, Mr.. Gladstone s
article reviewing Tennysons last poem ap-
peared on Gladstone's seventy-seventh birth
day. The full text of the article has not
reached this country yet, but some of its
salient points have been sent by cable. Re-
plying to the poets insinuation that the world
is retrograding, Mr. Gladstone enumerates
some of the legislative achievements of the
last fifty years, thus
Slavery has been abolished, the rigors of
the old criminal code have disappeared, the
combination of laws which prevented the
working population rom obtaining the best
price for their labor have been repealed, the
abuse of the poor law has been done away
with, the laborer has better security for life
and limb, and fuller assurance Of the CON-
pensation of survivors in case of DEATH the
scandals Of labor in mines and factories have
been removed reduced, the people have
good schools, and are under legal obligation
to use the privilege. Postage has been cheap
ened, and information through free press
which was formerly cut off from the multi
tude by stringent fax, is now at easy COM
mand. They are more lightly taxed, and
taxes are paid to the state for need
Iul government, instead or to the
wealthy classes for enhancing the price of
articles and interest. Added to these are the
removal Of religious disabilities, the abolition
of church rates, reform in the laws of mar
riage, abrogation of the university tests,
benefits conferred on farmers by the ground
and game act, the repeal of the malt tax,
fogging abolished in the army and the press
gang in the navy, purchase has ceased to
be the means of obtaining military promotion,
posts in the civil service have been opened to
character and talent, without distinction of
class, and right has begun-though with a
checkered history-to assert itself against
wrong in the government of the Irish
people,
This enumeration relates to England alone,
and certainly shows great progress. If the
scope Of Mr.. Gladstones article had led him
to cite the evidences of progress in othe,
countries, the showing would be still more
remarkable. 1t is quite clear that in this ar
gument the statesman has the advantage OF
the poet, for the very good reason that he has
the facts on his side.

GIFTED correspondent, trying to illustrate

A GIFTED correspondent trying to illustrate
the power of creative genius, says:
William F. Cody, the celebrated Indian scout,
once said that the best description of buffalo
hunting ever written was the illustrated account
published in Harper's Magazine by Gen. Lew
Wallace, the author of Ben Hur.' Yet it is alb
solutely certain that General Wallace never saw
a buffalo hunt until after the article was pub
lished, and the only buffalo he had ever seen was
NANCY, disconsolate little buffalo calf in
pen, doomed to be dragged around as part of
little troupe of vagabonds pretending to give IL
Illustrations of life the plains. From the crude
elements in that starving bull calf and in long
haired mountebank upon sore backed horse he
evolved the real and breathing buffalo, pursued
by tireless hunters the plain"
This reads well, but the question naturally
presents itself to inquiring mind is it true?
